Lacy Slouch Hat

img_7236Here’s my latest finished project, a knit hat.  I was going to link to the pattern, then realized it was from a magazine, Knit Today.  The magazine just ceased production this June, and I feel guilty now, because it is hard to maintain a knitting magazine when you can search Ravelry for thousands of free patterns, find still more on blogs like mine, and then have a pattern without paying a cent.  The problem with losing another source for designers to get paid is obvious- another place lost that vetted its projects.  Of the thousands of patterns out there,  how do I know which ones have major mistakes? I am relying on other hobbyists testing and commenting when something goes wrong.

So the pattern is Lace Beanie, page 43 of Knit Today May 2106 issue.
